I'm a fantastic cook. I'd even go as far as to say I'm the best cook I've ever been. I don't suppose many Nuts posters can say the same. I bet the best some of our regulars can serve up their other halves is a chicken and mushroom Pot Noodle, which is why I've set up this thread. I'm going to kick start it with one of my favorites that I reckon could be the recipe that kick starts some posters' love lives.
For "Asian Style Mackerel" two people, you'll need:
2 limes
4 tablespoons of sesame oil
4 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 red chilli pepper
1 garlic clove
An inch of fresh ginger
A few spring onions
2 raw mackerel fillets
2 tablespoons of runny honey
A handful of mint leaves
A lug of olive oil
A handful of coriander leaves
2 cups of basmati rice
1. Start boiling your rice.
2. Grate the lime skin into a bowl, before squeezing in the juice of both.
3. Grate in the ginger and garlic.
4. Chop your spring onions into small pieces, before adding to the bowl.
5. Chop the pepper finely, removing all seeds and add them to the bowl, along with coriander.
6. Add the honey, oils and soy sauce and stir.
7. Get a frying pan steaming hot before throwing in your mackerel fillets, skin side down. Use the plastic utensil thing usually used for frying eggs for which I don't know the name, to press down on the fish. Cook until the flesh is no longer pink, before flipping it over and cooking for a final minute.
8. Serve fish on a bed of rice, covered in sauce previously prepared and mint leaves.
To be honest, fried mackerel fucking stinks. On second thoughts it won't kick start anybody's love life, but I'll leave it up because I've written it now.
Please add your favorite recipes and feedback on any that you may have a crack at.
